Frank,
My prayers to you and your family. I remember when you worked at GTM how you called your mom at lunchtime to make sure she was alright.
You were a very loving son.

To the entire Smigiel family my sincere sympathy. The few times that I had the opportunity of meeting Mary was at family gatherings during the years. The impressions I got of Mary was that she was a very kind, warm, and thoughtful person. Also, she was a lot of fun to talk to with Lena. She will be missed by her family and to all who knew her. What a wonderful family and life she had during this time on earth.
